The English , in an article in June, 1866, said: ”This steae, made by Carrett, Marshall & Co, was probably the ood for itself as a steae, and its owner at last ht send a friend a white elephant--to that enthusiastic aht, and who did fly, and no es whenoas repeatedly pulled up and fined, and to this day his exploits are reht hundred miles; he had six suine thirty miles an hour It was afterwards altered to reseers were equipped like fire brass helmets The device did not deceive the police, and finally the carriage was ine

RICHARD TANGYE

The stealand, about 1852, was a si capacity in the body for six or eight persons, while three or four more could be accommodated in front The driver who sat in front had full control of the stop valve and reversing lever, so that the engine could be stopped or reversed by him as occasion required The speed of twenty ine with its load easily ascended the steepest gradients

Richard Tangye, in his autobiography, speaks of his experience with this carriage in the following terms: ”Great interest was manifested in our experi for a considerable business in these engines, and we ly, but the 'wisdom' of Parliament made it impossible The squires becah a judge ruled that a horse that would not stand the sight or sound of a locoer, and that its owner should be punished and not the owner of the locoine should travel more than four miles an hour on the public roads Thus was the trade in quick-speed locoled in its cradle; and the inhabitants of country districts left unprovided with ie thus driven out of England was sent to India, where it continued to give good service

T W COWAN

At the London Exhibition of 1862, the Messrs Yarrow and Hilditch, of Barnsbury, near London, exhibited a steaned and ers, besides the driver and the firehed two tons and a half The boiler, of steel, was a vertical multitubular two feet in diah The fraht-iron plates, and to the outside of the bottom sill were two iron foundation plates, to which the cylinders and other parts were attached The cylinders were five inches in diameter and had nine-inch stroke

CHARLES T HAYBALL

A quick-speed road locoton, Hants, England, in 1864 The ht-iron fra wheels had an inner and an outer tire, and the space betas filled ood to reduce noise and lessen the concussion The two steam cylinders were each four and one-half inches in diameter and with six-inch stroke Hayball used a vertical boiler, two feet two inches in dia at a pressure of one hundred and fifty pounds The carriage ran up an incline of one in twelve at sixteen miles an hour, and traveled four miles an hour in fourteen ers on board

ISAAC W BOULTON

In August, 1867, Thomas Boulton says: ”I ran a small road locomotive constructed by Isaac W Boulton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, froton, Preston Brook, to Chester, paraded the principal streets of Chester, and returned ho over ninety e except for water” Boulton's engine had one cylinder four and one-half inches in diameter, and with nine-inch stroke The boiler worked at one hundred and thirty pounds pressure per square inch The driving wheels were five feet in dia between the crank shaft and the counter shaft On the Chester trip six persons, and soers, were carried

ARMSTRONG

The virtues of the horseless vehicle early penetrated to India Many English es there Soe, with two steam cylinders, each three inches in dia, of Rawilpindee, Punjab A separate stop valve was fitted to each cylinder The boiler was fifteen inches in diah, and worked steam pressure of one hundred pounds per square inch Twelve rade of one in twenty, werewheels were three feet in diameter

PIERRE RAVEL

Ravel, of France, planned in 1868 a steam vehicle, and about 1870 completed the construction of one at the barracks at Saint-Owen Then came the declaration of ith Prussia, and the barracks, being within the zone of fortification, the vehicle was lost or destroyed There is no certainty that it was ever unearthed after peace was declared

L T PYOTT

Before 1876, a motor vehicle was invented by L T Pyott, as then a foreman with the Baldwin Locoe, which could carry seven persons at the rate of twenty miles an hour, cost about two thousand two hundred dollars, and weighed nearly two tons It was shown at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, but was not allowed to run on the streets

A RICHTER

An engineer and mechanician of Neider-Bielan, Oberlaneitz, Germany, Richter secured in 1877 a patent for a vehicle that was propelled by a s horizontally disposed, which were coe of powerful powder exploded in as practically a cannon The subsequent expansion transears The success of this vehicle is not generally known
